Cherry Watermelon Freeze Recipe

Watermelon is a special treat of summer, and it’s great to serve in wedges or chunks at barbecues, picnics, and other get-togethers. However, most watermelons are so big, leftovers are pretty standard; once cut, the watermelon doesn’t last very long in the fridge and sometimes there aren’t enough people around to eat it. One solution is to cut the watermelon in cubes, remove any seeds, and store the chunks in zip-type bags in the freezer. The frozen cubes speed up the process of making watermelon flavored sorbets, sherbets, slushes, and frozen yogurts. Cherry Watermelon Freeze is made quickly in the automatic ice cream machine, and is a good way to use the frozen watermelon in the freezer.
The following recipe is more fruit than yogurt; for a creamier version – more like sherbet - just double the amount of yogurt. Both versions are refreshing, yummy, and perfect to celebrate summer.
